I replaced my Epson 870 with an HP 7960, 9 inks and brilliant, having the print heads in the cartridges gets over the nozzle blocking problems I had with my Epson, running costs are actually cheaper than the Epson, when including cost of wasted ink and paper with duff prints from the Epson

A google search should get you some reviews on the HP7960, which was oringinally around £250, but has now been discontinued; on offer at around £100 to £150 at some branches of PC World, Jessops etc

Has anyone on here actually used the Sigma 10-20, or for that matter the pentax 12-24 yet?

Well at least the Signa may encourage Pentax to be more sensible with their 12-24 price. Some of the initial comments on dpreview indicate that the Pentax may not be all its expected to be, especially with regard to colour fringing. I would really like an extreme wide angle for landscapes, and the price difference between the Pentax and Sigma could pay for an awful lot of trips to the mountains. At the end of the day pictures are more important than brand loyalty

On a positive note; it's really good to see the big independents once again supporting Pentax (and Konica Minolta) users

sounds really interesting, at £350 a much more sensible price than pentax's 12-24. Looking forward to some reviews, but if it is as good as the Sigma EX 100-300 I may well buy one

And let us know if its any good when you get one

if your PC only has USB1, it is well worth upgrading to USB 2 at the same time. Geater speed and much more stable

Some of the contributors to dpreview.com are posting evidence that the optics and internals to the new pentax 12-24 f4 are identical to those of Tokina's 12-24 F4, which is mysteriously not available in Pentax mount.

They claim that the new Pentax lens is in fact a re badged and coated Tokina, with a price premium of a few hundred pound.

Discuss.........

Goodness me, here we go again

I'm dissapointed that you lot didn't pick up the irony in my post.

Neverther less if Samsung can help Pentax to provide better in-camera processing it will help sales, and hence likelyhood of future products

Intersting and good news.

Similar to Konica helping to relaunch Minolta

"Samsung holds superb digital image processing technologies" should cure all those soft jpeg allegations
